Aaruchami arrives at Tirunelveli after being in exile for some years after being wrongly accused of bribery by corrupt politicians. He meets Bhuvana while searching for a rental house in tirunelveli. He is always accompanied by Ramesh Kanna who is also an Inspector. Meanwhile, he romances Bhuvana (Trisha), a college going brahmin girl. At the outset, he pretends to be a corrupt cop by accepting bribes from the very influential Annachi. Later Saami starts to rebel against him and the rest is how he succeeds in expelling the corrupt politicians.
